The "Oscars of Science" Has Announced Its Winners for 2020

This year’s winners are credited with discoveries that address important and compelling scientific questions – from “What does a black hole look like?” to “Why do chilis taste hot?” and “What are the causes of neurodegenerative disease?”

Quantifying Sound Particles Through a Quantum Microphone

Scientists develop a method in measuring sound particles Imagine quantifying sound rather than light. This was done successfully by physicists from Stanford Univesrity who measured phonons, or individual sound particles, through a quantum microphone.

Superwalkers: A new innovation in the field of quantum mechanics and classical physics

Scientists conduct in-depth study regarding the characteristics of superwalkers A team of researchers led by Rahil Valani and Anja Slim at Monash University and Tapio Simula at Swinburne University of Technology introduced another information about the superwalkers which opens a new door in the field of research focused on quantum mechanics and classical physics.

Physicists Copy Some Properties of the Sun in a Ball

Plasma physicists copy the solar wind from the sun in a 3-meter diameter aluminum ball. In 1958, solar physicist Eugene Parker predicted the existence of the solar wind, which is a constant stream of charged particles ejected by the sun from its corona.

Peptides Can Form Without Amino Acids

The results of the study may also be useful to the field of synthetic chemistry, as amide bond formation is essential for many commercially critical synthetic materials, bioactive compounds, and pharmaceuticals

Tracking the Separation of Atoms with Lasers

All paths lead to the electron settling on either iodine or bromine and the two atoms flying apart. Ultraviolet light fragments the links between atoms within the DNA of skin cells, undoubtedly inflicting cancer on the human body.

Was Human Evolution Inevitable or a Chance Occurrence?

Human evolution is believed to be a one time chance occurence that would not ever happen again. What would happen if the hands of time were turned back to an arbitrary moment in our history of human evolution, and what if we restarted the clock? American scientist Stephen J.
